socialism — an economic system and/or form of government in which factors of production are controlled by the public and economic goods are divided by the public; both through the mechanism of government.

Socialism gives much greater power to government.

It would seem this would be good for people.

WRONG!

Government by its vary nature is incompetent and/or corrupt.

Giving more control to government

— reduces individual freedom

— transfers wealth from the people to the government

— makes the economy much less efficient

Socialism also steals from the hard working to give money/economic benefits to lazy, shiftless lowquals and freeloaders.
